We recently had the pleasure of supporting a long-standing, family-owned plant hire company on their growth journey.

Like many growing businesses, they were managing cash flow with a small overdraft facility and a mix of high-cost working capital loans. While these  had served their purpose during earlier stages of expansion, they were beginning to limit the company’s ability to move forward. They were also having an impact on cashflow with high monthly repayments.

The client was initially referred to us by a local bank who, due to the contractual nature of much of the company’s debt, was unable to provide a suitable alternative funding solution. That’s where we stepped in.

Working closely with the client, we sourced and implemented an Invoice Finance facility that provided a more sustainable and flexible form of funding. This solution gave the business access to cash tied up in their sales ledger, enabling them to secure improved terms with their suppliers and accelerate their growth strategy.

The facility was set up in just three weeks—an impressive turnaround that reflects the collaborative approach of all parties involved. We started with an initial £750,000 funding line, which has since grown to £1.5 million as the business continues to thrive.

This is a great example of how tailored funding solutions can help businesses to move away from expensive short-term borrowing and towards long-term, scalable growth.
